Inauguration Speech

Good speech today by Obama - fitting for the times. I particularly like the "opening fist" metaphor. Good luck to the new President. There seems to be a great deal of hope and excitement for his administration and the man himself. I am in his corner but I will reserve judgement until some actual progress is recognized.

We're in a world of hurt in this country and I have yet to be convinced that Obama can make a difference in our economy and our country's standing in the world. Generally, I like this guy as a person better than the goverment's previous leader but I have yet to be convinced of his effectiveness as a leader of this entire country. I get no mesianic vibe from the man but I believe strongly that his intentions are leaning in the right direction, much more so than the other joker. But let's see if its more than just a good speech.
